Interested to see what it looks like with these fitted
Considering 15mm on rear for mine
Had 25 and was rubbing tyres on the arches over bumps
Think 20 on the front will be too much though
I'm thinking maybe 5/10/15 on the front - 15 at a push!
Await images of your spacers fitted to see what I think

Ideally they are for when i get Starmags so they fit over the brakes but i will fit them before hand anyway, when you had 25mm spacers what tyre size did you have?
I'm hoping 20mm wont rub too much

I had 195/45 on 15's with a 40mm drop on the rear
It caused about 5mm of the outside tyre wall to rub on the arch when the suspension was in bump
Rebound obviously moved it away, and being stationary it wasn't touching
I think you'll pull 20mm off
With smaller wheels, and being 5mm thinner
I just think 20mm is too much on the front
My opinion, not fact of course

Fitted my spacers today and its given it a nice little poke!
I've also decided to stick to standard saxo lights as i keep fucking up the euro ones every time i try spraying them!
I tryed getting some pictures but they dont really do it justice :/

I've got 15mm spacers on my starmags and i still had to cut the top of me rear arch insides. 20mm is to much id say. that extra 5mm will probly still rub the back after cutting the arches. (70mm rear drop) ofcourse, but to pull starmags off you need to go low low IMO

Most other people who have 13" wheels have fitted 20mm spacers and they have said its fine.
I think that 60mm all round pulls it off ok as well

Got the car lowered today by Kris, just have to say he's a nice guy who did an excellent job. I would defineatly recommend him to anyone
The bad news is that apex had sent me some 50mm springs rather than 60mm ones so at the moment the car is sitting 50-70. It looks great at the back but the front is still to high, but im gonna see what it looks like after fitting the wheels.
If its too high then i may consider getting some coilovers to get the front down to 70mm as well.
Got a pic of the back afterwards, will try and get some decent pictures once the wheels arrive
